ISO New Work Item Proposal Guidelines on Integrating a Business Excellence Framework with ISO Management System Standards Comment Deadline: March 3, 2017 SCC, the ISO member body for Canada, has submitted to ISO a new work item proposal for the development of an ISO standard on Guidelines on Integrating a Business Excellence Framework with ISO management system standards, with the following scope statement:

Organizations implementing single or multiple management systems and simultaneously the Business Excellence framework are faced with the major challenge of lack of alignment. This can be attributed to multiple factors, including but not limited to, organizational design/structure, responsibilities matrix, contextual understanding of the linkages/inter-dependencies, silo mentality and turf protection. “Guidelines on Integrating a Business Excellence Framework with ISO management system standards” will provide the roadmap on integrating the national/international business excellence frameworks with management system standards, for enhancing organizational efficiency, facilitating effective decision-making, and promoting transparency, innovation and continuous improvement. Scope will exclude the development of an ISO Business Excellence standard and/or development of ISO Management System standard/s. Instead it will focus on the integration aspects, available best practices, and provision of useful practical tips for better organizational management.

Anyone wishing to review the proposal can request a copy by contacting ANSI’s ISO Team ([email protected]), with a submission of comments to Steve Cornish ([email protected]) by close of business on Friday, March 3, 2017.

Foreword

This proposal seeks to add two new mandatory requirements to Section 8: Indoor Environmental Quality regarding occupant control of operable methods of glare control and of automatic daylight‐responsive controls. To achieve and maintain high levels of indoor environmental quality, it is essential that buildings have methods and devices that reduce glare and that manage electric light levels in daylit spaces, and that building occupants have the capability to manipulate these methods and devices to achieve acceptable levels of performance and comfort.

The glare control requirement mandates that, in several specific space types, operable methods and devices of glare control be provided capable of blocking the specular transmittance of the fenestration assembly by a minimum of 97%, with the capability to allow occupants to manually adjust these glare control methods and devices, including the ability to temporarily override automatic controls. This proposal also allows occupants to have the capability to temporarily override automatic daylight‐responsive controls and automatic glare control for up to two hours.

Note: In this addendum, changes to the current standard are indicated in the text by underlining (for additions) and strikethrough (for deletions) unless the instructions specifically mention some other means of indicating the changes. Only these changes are open for review and comment at this time. Additional material is provided for context only and is not open for comment except as it relates to the proposed substantive changes.




Addendum aw to 189.1-2014

Modify Section 3.2 as follows:

view fenestration: Fenestration that complies with all of the following:

a. It provides building occupants with a view to the outdoors or to an interior daylit atrium.

b. It has undiffused glazing with a haze value less than 3%, as determined in accordance with ASTM D1003.

c. It has a center‐of‐glass visible transmittance (VT) of not less than 20%. d. The product of the center‐of‐glass VT and the openness factor of screens,

patterned films, and ceramic frits is not less than 20%. e. Where dynamic glazing is provided, such glazing has a center‐of‐glass visible

transmittance (VT) of not less than 20% at the highest end of its range. f. Where non‐operable opaque window treatments are provided, such as blinds,

shades, and louvers, such treatments do not obstruct more than 40% of the fenestration glazing area.

specular visible transmittance – the fraction of incident flux (lumens) that passes directly through a surface or medium without scattering.

Add the following new section:

8.3.8 Glare Control. View fenestration for the following spaces shall comply with this section:

Classroom / Training Room

Conference / Meeting / Multipurpose Room except in convention centers

Lounge / Breakroom

Enclosed office and open plan office

Library reading area

Patient rooms and physical therapy rooms within a healthcare facility




View fenestration shall have an operable glare control device(s) capable of reducing the specular visible transmittance of the fenestration assembly to 3% or less. Such glare control devices shall allow an occupant or control system to change the device’s position or light transmission level in order to address glare in the space. Operable glare control devices include movable interior window blinds, curtains, and shades; movable exterior louvers, screens, awnings, shades, and blinds; and dynamic glazing. Where fabric shades are used, the openness factor, also known as direct‐direct transmittance, shall be tested according to standard EN14500.

Exceptions:

a. For buildings located greater than 20 degrees latitude north or south of the equator, view fenestration oriented within 10 degrees of true north in northern hemisphere locations or within 10 degrees of true south in southern hemisphere location.

b. Where permanent interior or exterior obstructions, such as buildings, structures, overhangs and fins, have a specular visible transmittance of not great than 3% and prevent the view fenestration from admitting a direct beam of sunlight into the space through a point in the middle of the view fenestration horizontally and one third of the distance between top and bottom of the view fenestration above the bottom of the view fenestration, at the peak solar altitude and four hours before and after the peak solar altitude on the summer solstice and the spring equinox as determined by sun angle studies.

c. Spaces that have an annual sunlight exposure of not more than 93 footcandles (1,000 lux) of direct sunlight illumination for more than 250 hours per year for less than 3% of the floor area.

8.3.9 Occupant override. Occupants shall have the capability to temporarily override automatic methods of glare control for periods not exceeding two hours.

This test determines the overall seal integrity of the cabinet outer hull, including on exterior surfaces of all plenums, determines whether welds, gaskets, plenum penetrations, and seals are free of leaks. A.1.1.2 Apparatus manometer, pressure gauge, or pressure transducer system with a minimum range of 0 2 in w.g. (0

500 Pa) and accurate to ± 0.02 in w.g. (5 Pa);

manufacturer-provided pressure plates constructed of steel, aluminum, plastic or other non-permeable

material as needed to seal exhaust, fan inlet, and access openings; and

liquid leak detector

plastic sheet (0.02 in [0.5 mm] extruded high-impact styrene); and

duct tape. A.1.1.3 Method (pressure decay) The pressure decay test may be used during manufacturing to demonstrate compliance with section A.1. It shall always be used during certification testing.

a) Prepare the cabinet as a sealed system, i.e., seal the front sash access opening and exhaust port. b) Remove decorative panels and other access obstructions, where necessary, to allow proper sealing of openings expose plenums to be tested. c) Attach a manometer, pressure gauge, or pressure transducer system to the test area to indicate the interior pressure. d) Pressurize the cabinet with air to a reading of 2 in w.g. (500 Pa), turn off the pressurizing air, and measure the pressure after 3010 min. A leakage of 10% of the original pressure is allowable. If a cabinet does not hold 2 in w.g. (500 Pa), use the soap bubble method to locate leaks. e) If the cabinet does not hold pressure within 10% after 10 minutes, use the liquid leak detector to check for leaks in the pressure plates used to seal the access opening, exhaust, and fan inlet (where applicable). If leaks are found, make needed repairs if possible and repeat step d.

A.1.1.4 Method (soap bubble – allowed for manufacturing only) The soap bubble test may be used during manufacturing to demonstrate compliance with section A.1 in place of the pressure decay test. The soap bubble test shall not be used for certification testing.

a) Prepare the cabinet as a sealed system, i.e., seal the front sash and exhaust port. b) Remove decorative panels and other access obstructions, where necessary, to expose plenums to be tested. c) Attach a manometer, pressure gauge, or pressure transducer system to the test area to indicate the interior pressure. d) Pressurize the cabinet with air to ensure a continuous reading of 2 in w.g. (500 Pa) ± 10%. e) Spray or brush the liquid leak detector along all welds, gaskets, penetrations, and seals on

exterior surfaces of cabinet plenums. Small leaks will be indicated by bubbles. Large leaks will occur that blow the detection fluid from the hole without forming bubbles and may be detected by slight feel of airflow or sound.

A.1.1.5 Acceptance A.1.1.5.1 Pressure decay The cabinet shall hold 2 in w.g. (500 Pa) ± 10% for 3010 min. This requirement shall be met for all certification testing. A.1.1.5.2 Soap bubble or a All welds, gaskets, penetrations, and seals on exterior surfaces of air plenums shall be free of soap bubbles when at 2 in w.g. (500 Pa) ± 10% pressure above atmospheric. This requirement may be met during manufacturing as an alternative to the pressure decay test. Rationale: As positive pressure plenums in direct contact with the lab are no longer allowed, the 30 minute requirement is too stringent and not equivalent with the soap bubble leak requirement. Removing the soap bubble leak option for type testing strengthens the standard, even when the period for holding pressure is reduced. This approach requires proper design and construction that is adequate to ensure seal integrity as needed for space decontamination. Taking away the soap bubble leak option levels the playing field between manufacturers doing a generally good job on seal integrity and manufacturers paying less attention to detail. It simplifies the test and takes judgment calls on repairs away from the test agency, making the test more objective. Requiring submission of proper pressure plates to seal opening with the sample cabinet also provides an evaluation of the manufacturer’s system for sealing the cabinet during factory testing. The soap bubble leak provisions were left in place to accommodate manufacturing. Production could be impacted if a pressure plate failed. Most pressure plates provide a seal using gaskets that are siliconed in place. Repairs require enough time for the silicone to cure. It could be detrimental to manufacturing operations to have to stop production for several hours for the sake of repairing a leaky pressure plate.

3. Remote Alarm Reset/Silence

6.1 Each single and multiple station carbon monoxide alarm shall be designed to be reset/silenced through a manual operation (on the alarm) by physically depressing the alarm reset/silence feature. The operation of the button reset/silence feature shall silence the alarm signal and restore the alarm to its normal condition resulting in the alarm once again being able to sense carbon monoxide and alarm within the limits of the Sensitivity Test, Section 39. The alarm signal shall be reenergized within 6 minutes from the time the reset button is operated if the concentration of carbon monoxide surrounding the alarm remains at 70 ppm or greater.

(NEW)

6.4 A multiple-station interconnected carbon monoxide alarm that produces an alarm signal (wired, wireless, relay, audible and/or audible-visual) shall be permitted to be reset/silenced by any of the following:

a) By activating the alarm reset/silence feature on any multiple station interconnected carbon monoxide alarm, provided the carbon monoxide alarm that initiated the alarm signal remains in alarm; or

b) By physically depressing the alarm reset/silence feature on the initiating carbon monoxide alarm(s), as noted in 6.1; or

c) By activating the wireless communication remote reset/silencing feature using a remote device.
